Spicy Chipotle Turkey Burgers

Tonight we had some turkey meat and decided to make turkey burgers on the grill since it was so nice out. We found this recipe for chipotle burgers but added more chipotle, and added some cumin, cayenne pepper, and chili powder to the mix. We have made chipotle turkey burgers before but these were better by far. We made some gauc to put on top (to complete the damn thang) and added some fresh mozzarella on top of the burgers. My avocado don't want none unless you've got buns, hun

NO IM NOT LUCKY, IM BLESSED, YES

have you ever wondered what a dream come true tastes like? its a combo of two of my favorite things: sushi and burritos. i owe my life to whoever thought of this masterpiece. right when i heard that these exist, I had to get delivery from Hai Street Kitchen. You can either get a signature item or build your own burrito or bowl just like chipotle. you can even “zilla” it to make it a little bit bigger, obviously I had to do that. Mine was brown rice, tataki salmon, spicy mayo, spring mix, cucumber, and wasabi guac (DA BOMB), and topped with tempura crunch. for real, bless this earth because these exist #iwishthaticouldhavethismoment4life #nickiminajapproved

sweet and spicy honey sriracha tofu and chicken

this week we made another one of those meals where you just throw together what you have. We found a recipe for an easy sweet and spicy honey sriracha sauce (i trust anything that has sriracha on it). We cut tofu and chicken into cubes and shook them in a freezer bag with corn starch. We then fried them on the stove in oil. in another sauce pan we combined, water, sriracha, soy sauce, garlic, sugar and honey. After bringing it to a boil you whisk together corn starch and water to add to the sauce to thicken it. We realized we should add broccoli so we steamed some and stuck them in there and then put it on top of rice and it honestly tasted better than most take out chinese food. I definitely recommend making this recipe because it is super easy and delicious. Heres a link:

this past week I had my first experience at the restaurant Modo Mio and I already can’t wait to go back. We started off with baked and fried pork pate with fried egg and arugala AND HOLY FUCK!!!!!! i fuckin love pate and never even heard of it being fried before but it was amazing, and the fried egg on top was perfect. We also ordered tortellini with house made ricotta, marsala braised apples, and sage brown butter sauce but it isn’t pictured because we devoured it way too fast, so that should be self explanatory. The other appetizer pictured is a rabbit meatball and I definitely recommend it. For my entree i ordered tagliatelle with mushroom, black truffle, roasted red pepper, pecorino romano and I would eat it every day if I could. Kelly ordered trout with brussel sprouts, walnut salad, granny smith apples, and white truffle citronette and our friend Jess ordered seared duck breast in a bed of arugla with blueberry balsamic and glazed onions. Luckily I got to try a bite of both of them and they were SOOOOOOO good. For dessert we ordered almond cheesecake and tiramisu that was to die for.  If you want to go to a delicious BYOB dinner, I highly recommend this restaurant.

Last night we made something called the Summer Loving All-In Salad. Of course we started our meal off with a cheese plate with the usuals but with a lil meat and dijon mustard. The other night I was scrolling through tumblr and came across this salad and it looked so amazing. I think I have over 100 recipes favorited that I tell myself "OMG I AM GOING TO MAKE THAT” but never go through with it, but last night it finally happened. this recipe calls for small potatoes (we used small red potatoes), asparagus, fresh chopped dill, roughly chopped capers, mayonnaise, lemon juice, grated zest of a lemon, garlic, avocado, lettuce and salmon. I’ve had dill sauce on salmon before and capers with salmon but this was on another level.  Here’s the link to the full recipe: http://www.fromthekitchen.co.nz/2015/01/summer-loving-all-in-salad.html#.VQrrwl61RBU I definitely recommend making this, it’s so good, Kelly and I literally felt like gourmet chefs as we made it. FOREVER A HUNGRY BITCHHH

a perfect meal made by my mom to end my spring break/week of mostly Netflix. The appetizer was crackers topped with mozzarella cheese, prosciutto (my luvvvvv), sun dried tomatoes, and basil. It was amazing, but unfortunately we were out of pesto, because a little dab of that on top would have made it out of this worldddddd. The entree was mother in law’s tongue (yeah, that’s a thing) pasta, with my mom’s friend’s homemade tomato sauce topped with cheese. After a weekend of barely any sleep or real food, I actually feel like a human again, thanx mom<3

HI EVERY1!!!!~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

this meal was a typical ‘haven’t gone to the grocery store in a while so we barely have anything to make so lets throw shit together’ kinda meal. Luckily we stopped at Dibruno Brothers in center city after some retail therapy and picked up a few things. We got a new kind of cheese to add to the collection, brabander goat gouda, and some fig spread. fig spread with cheese and crackers is a serious game changer. I'm not a huge fig fan but it's soooo good. We grabbed some potatoes and Kelly made rosemary potatoes with onion. We then wanted to spice up our rotisserie chicken so we threw together a really good quick dijon sauce with dijon mustard, greek yogurt, butter, mixed italian herbs, and a pinch of sugar. you can tell I obviously liked it by the amount I put on my chicken. just another day in the life of a hungry bitch, going overboard with the sauce always<3333

K:

SUP. So this week while shopping our hearts out at the new Forever 21 in Center City we stopped at DiBruno Brothers because we had like zero food in the house. To start off the evening we made another cheese plate (obviously because we shopped at a cheese lovers paradise) featuring a new cheese -brabander goat gouda- which we paired with fig spread. SO GOOD. Fig spread is a new household staple. I couldn’t stop eating it. ( p.s. the fig spread also pairs very well with brie)Our dinner was inspired by the go-to: rotisserie chicken. When I was growing up, my mom always made rosemary potatoes with chicken so that was the first thing that came to my mind. They are so easy to make: You just dice up whatever kind of potatoes float your boat and coat them in olive oil, chopped onions, rosemary (dried or fresh,) salt and pepper. Cook them on 375 for about 45 minutes and enjoy! To spice up the chicken Zoe found a djion mustard yogurt sauce recipe that is out of this world. As she mentioned it is just 3 TBS yogurt, 2 TBS dijon mustard, 1 TBS butter, a pinch of Italian seasoning and sugar. Pop that shit in the micro for a couple minutes and you have yourself a delicious sauce. Definitely will be making this many times in the future. It’s healthy and so easy to make. Later bitches.

bless this earth cause my mom came over with two huge bags of supplies ready to make a feast. After a night from hell and waking up with one of the worst hangovers, getting to have a huge home cooked meal from my mom was heaven sent (you know you need a good home cooked meal when you were eating hawaiian pizza for breakfast). lemme tell you bout those cheese and crackers thoooo. mom my is a wine and cheese connoisseur so she knows the goods. goat cheese with pesto in the middle, french brie, and beer mustard seed. Also some sun dried tomatoes to put on top and some grapes on the side. For dinner we had a caesar salad with cucumber, tomatoes, and avocado. She also made coque au vin, which is a french dish with chicken thigh, red wine, mushrooms, carrots, and pearl onions. banginnnnnn. and the asparagus wrapped in prosciuttoooooooo. Lemme just say, when i die i wanna be wrapped and mummified in proscuitto because i love it that much. Then she of course, she brought homemade banana bread for dessert. shout out to my mom for hookin us hungry bitches up

K:

Nina (Zoe’s mom) made us dinner, yet again. Her cooking is such an inspiration and a pleasure, which is why she is such a feature on our blog. When she comes in with multiple bags of goodies (which she has a tenancy to do) you can’t help but get a little excited. This woman came over to our apartment and whipped up the must beautiful cheese plate that anyone could ever ask for. She included pesto goat cheese, french brie, and beer & mustard seed cheeses with crackers, grapes, and sun-dried tomatoes to pair. To quench our thirsty selves after eating these delicious hors d’oeuvres, we drank white wine and champagne because were classy bitches.

For dinner, Nina made a caesar salad, coq au vin and asparagus wrapped in prosciutto. Her go to caesar salad is made with romaine, croutons, tomato, avocado and cucumber- it’s simple, but so good it makes even salad haters want more. The coq au vin thoooo… ABSOLUTELY TO DIE FOR. Nina claims that it is simple, but I am hesitate to believe her. Coq au vin is a class french dish of chicken meat (she used chicken thigh) braised in wine with garlic, pearl onions, mushrooms, carrots. She also took her own spin on the dish by adding noodles (not added in the traditional form of the dish,) but it was so fucking good. I will never make it with out. To top it all off, the woman makes asparagus wrapped in prosciutto. This is made literally the was you imagine. You take some asparagus and wrap the bitches up with some olive oil. I could have literally eaten them all myself.

CALLING ALL MEAT EATERS: make this shit ASAP because it is bomb

… until next time bitches

GALENTINES DAY DINNER

Z:

The most important holiday for us hungry single bitches. There is nothing better than bitching about valentines day/boys while stuffing your face with delicious food and drinking some wine (ask any hungry single bitch). The appetizer we made is pita crackers, goat brie cheese, pesto, and sun dried tomatoes all from Trader Joe's. You can't go wrong if it's all from Trader Joe's. The cheese melts in your mouth, and goes well with the crunch of the cracker and the sun dried tomatoes and pesto (which are always a dynamic duo that you can't go wrong with). As our entree we sautéed chicken, tofu, and onion, and let it simmer in Maya Kaimal Madras Curry Indian Summer Sauce which has a peppery and spicy taste and is out of this world (everyone should go buy dat shit from the health food store). Topped it all on top of plain pilaf (cause our rice took 45 minutes and we are impatient hungry bitches). bangggggggggin. Leslie Knope would be proud. TREAT YO SELF

K:

Galentine’s Day is dedicated to celebrating the fabulous life of all single ladies. It is a day consisted of all things girls enjoy, single and taken a like. Popular activities include: -drinking cocktails -eating delicious food -playing Beyonce, Britney, etc. -dancing -going to the gay bar -talking shit Zoe and I spent our Galentine’s day with our girlfriend, Julie, doing just this. Before we went out to celebrate, we made these delicious cheese appetizers to go along with our drinks. While shopping at our neighborhood Trader Joe’s, we came up with the idea. The appetizers consist of pita crackers with brie goat cheese and Genova pesto sauce topped with a sun dried tomato.

For dinner, we made chicken and tofu with Maya Kaimal’s Madras Curry simmer sauce over a bed of brown rice. To start, we baked chicken breast in the oven. Then we sautéed onion with garlic in a pan and added the tofu. Once the tofu began to brown, we added the baked chicken breast, which we cut into cubes upon coming out of the oven. We then let the mixture simmer in the Madras curry sauce for a few minutes and served it over the rice once done. Although we would have been more proud of the dish had we made our own curry sauce from scratch, this was probably the best curry sauce either of us have ever tasted. We HIGHLY recommend it.

Needless to say, Galentine’s day was the shit. Bon appetite, bitches!

salmon salad and deconstructed lasagna

Z:

It only seems right to have our first post as the hungry bitches of broad st be for the best cook I know, my mom (obviously). The appetizer is salmon salad w/ dill on top on top of garlic toasts and rye bread squares. This is one of my mom's go to appetizers because its quick to make and is fucking delicious (sometimes with cucumber slices on top instead of dill, soooo good), I could literally eat 20 in 5 minutes and still want more. The entree was her version of a desconstructed lasagna with ground turkey and turkey sausage. She never makes lasagna and I never really get to eat it so I was ecstatic about eating it and it was just as good as I knew it was going to be. I would eat my moms meals everyday if that was possible, It almost makes me want to move back in

K:

Zoe's mom is one of the best home cooks I know. And as Zoe's best friend, I have the privilege to eat all kinds of delicious food that she makes. These salmon appetizers call for some serious self-control. They are a more gourmet  spin on the classic tuna sandwich with the dill garnish and smokey salmon flavor. They are so simple and delicious! I have had a couple different salmon appetizers she has made in the past, but this one takes the win. As for the deconstructed lasagna... it may not look like the most picturesque slice of lasagna you've seen, but it was fucking out of this world. With two kinds of turkey meat and homemade sauce, this dish is guilt free without compromising the flavor. 

Just another relaxing candle lit meal in the burbs with Nina and us hungry bitchez.
